The DISPLAY variable tells the X11 libraries where the X11 server is located.

Try

export DISPLAY=:0

I do not believe the Unix installer supports installing OS X services, so unless you have very explicit needs at this time you can get along just with the zip-distribution of Glassfish. Unzip it and run asadmin start-domain.

It worked both ways :) Thanks...however what is this command doing ? export DISPLAY=:0 ...i googled for it but still not very clear ...

It is a shell environment variable which is being set and made available to future programs. The ":0" means the first screen+keyboard on the local computer. OS X does not use X11 by default or this variable would have been set transparently.
